Could I just sauté the vegetables at the beginning, and not cook it for so long? hmm.

1.5 large cans whole tomatos 1 6oz can tomato paste 1 bunch celery, chopped 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 bell pepper, chopped 2 medium onions, chopped 4 tablespoons mustard 3 tablespoons sugar salt, pepper, and Tony's creole seasoning to taste

Fix in a large pan/dutch oven. Empty entire cans of whole tomatos and tomato paste into pan. Add vinegar, mustard, and sugar. Bring to a boil. Add vegetables; simmer until vegetables are well done, about 1-1.5 hrs. Remove the tomatos and puree in a food processor. Return puree to pan and simmer another 20-30 minutes. Sauce freezes well.
